SILK PAU-d'rs

Silk Powder is obtained from the secretion of silkworms. It is used primarily in skin care products to improve humectancy and oil absorption.

soy-been-oyl

Soybean Oil is one of the most important oils produced today. It contains about 60% polyunsaturated fatty acids and is a good source of Vitamin E, used frequently in soaps and bath oils. The oil obtained by soybeans is extracted, consisting of emollient properties such as oleic, linolenic and saturated acids. Ancient traditions cultivated soybeans for its protein, oil, and lecithin content – believed to be a superior moisturizing agent that helps soften skin.

SUN-flah'-wur OY-il

Sunflower Oil contains beneficial amounts of Phospholipids as well as high concentrations of Ceramides. Its strengthening and protective agents help to further nurture and condition dry or damaged skin. The resilient Sunflower extract is also known to care for sun-exposed and aging skin as a result of environmental aggression.

This is the only product I've found in 26 years of being alive that works on my extremely thick and difficult hair. Not only does it work, it works amazingly and allows me to change my hair throughout the day. Great product.

wanted to see if it's a better choice than creative cream wax. I'm experimenting with hair styling products to find the best one. Instead of sampling, I like to try each one for a while, as well as the changing seasons where I live make my hair act in different ways. I like to have a more youthful look to my hair, so I go for the "bed-head" look. People are surprised I'm over 40 years old, they don't notice the grey hairs and I love it! Thanks to my Kiehls total body routine

It is the only product that I can use that protect my hair from breakage. Also, I get compliments regarding the beauty of my hair. Some individuals thinks that I wear a wig because my hair has a glow that I must admit is stunning.

Best Answer:I have thick, longer hair and this is the only product that I use now. It leaves your hair soft and will still provides some hold. It is a matte finish too, which I prefer over shiny. I don't use a hairdryer, apply after towel drying, comb out and let dry. Once dry, I run wet hands thru it and it is perfect for the rest of the day or night.

This molding paste at first seems sticky ,but when it dries the hair holds its shape and is soft. My hair is naturally curly so I don't know whether it would keep hair straight. It's been great for me.

Best Answer:Sounds as though this is not what you're looking for since this is primarily a molding paste--sticky at first but able to shape hair nicely. But since you twist or braid your hair, maybe you're looking for shine that also provides light oil to prevent the dry appearance.

Yes, I think the molding paste could work for that style. I have short hair that is naturally wavy and I use the paste to keep my hair in place and make it straighter. I really like this product and have been using it for 5 years.

What kind of hold does the Malleable Molding Paste have? Does it give any shine?

A shopper on Apr 19, 2013

Best Answer:I have very thick, coarse, wavy hair. I think the Malleable Molding Paste does a great job of letting me 'direct' my hair and then holds it nicely in place. It is a 'gooey-stringy paste' but rubs right into your hair, and doesn't leave it looking like you have helmet-head - so rigid it doesn't look natural. Also soft enough hold you can actually run your fingers through it afterwards if you want to rather than worrying that your fingers, or someone else's, might get stuck in there permanently. After reading your question about 'shine' I took special note yesterday to see whether or not I thought it did, and I'd say 'yes'. I noticed there was a nice sort of soft gleam most definitely. I also use Kiehl's Crème with Silk Groom for a softer, curly-enhancing styling experience and you definitely get a lovely luster as the product contains silk powders and it seems to enhance your hair's natural highlights.

The hold is from medium to firm if used as a finishing touch (I always start with the Styling Lotion).What I love about the MMP is that i keeps the shape of my hair even after I run my hand through it. So the hold is now light, which is perfect if you're going for the casual-I-don't-care-but-yeah-I-kinda-do look.

MMP does give the hair plenty of shine... without looking greasy. Here's something neat: no need to apply more if you want to "re-store" the sheen, just wet your hand and run through your hair.

I've been going to my Saks counter for this product for the past three months, and it's been backordered. Kiehl's? What gives? I need this product. Pronto!

It's great stuff. I initially heard about it in an Esquire magazine article. I'm a man with curly and about 5 inch long hair. I can put only this product in and all day long it holds. It can be messed with later and not get brittle. It does have a little shine. Use very sparingly. Easy to ad more, but I put just a drop in my hands. Good luck.

What kind of hold does the Malleable Molding Paste have? Does it give any shine?

A shopper on Apr 19, 2013

Best Answer:It does give a little a shine and a playable texture and hold, however I prefer the creative cream wax, it gives a stronger hold and doesn't cake up or clump. I have not had that problem with the molding paste, but found that the wax did a much bettr job at holding the hair

After it's been applied to your hair for a period of time it doesn't reactivate well. I tried it and it's best to just leave it alone. This isn't like a hair gel, it's molding paste so it's a bit different. It works best upon applying it after you wash and dry your hair in the morning.

I've not had much luck with this product and have only used it a few times. I have never tried wetting my hair to reactivate but I recall an article that with any product running damp hands through your hair versus wetting your hair is the best way to refresh products so give it a try!

Is this product good for people with sensative skin? My husband's skin reacts to fragrented hair products, he is looking for a molding paste to use in his hair, something that his skin will not react to.

A shopper on Feb 22, 2013

Best Answer:I have pretty sensitive skin and this product has not adversely affected me whatsoever. Other hair products tend to give me ingrown hairs on my scalp and this hasn't happened with the malleable paste. Good product IMO, but it is very pricey!

It smells pleasant. I didn't see petroleum products listed anywhere in the ingredients. When you put some on your palms, press your palms together and pull them apart, there are little stringy fibers which makes it light enough to style my fine hair and not weigh it down.

I'd like to use this on my long kinky coily hair while it's wet to cut down on frizz and big volume once it's dry, but I wonder if this would make my hair look stiff? Would you give it a thumbs up or thumbs down for use on longer hair?

Best Answer:I have a different hair type than you, but I feel that the product works better and better as hair gets longer. And the best thing about it is that it leaves hair extremely soft both before and after it sets in; it's very hard to tell that it's even there unless you really look for it.

I think it would help, yeah. And it will make it stiff after it drys but what I do is after it stiffens, is run my fingers all through it untill it looks natural. Good coupled with a anti-friz non rice conditioner. I like the stuff... And the price is right. Good luck.

I have long fine hair that doesn't hold a set. I have tried gels, etc. and was wondering if the Malleable Molding Paste might work? I don't want anything sticky or greasy. Or is there anything else you might recommend?Thank you,Vicki

Best Answer:I've used numerous hair gels, sprays, mousse products over many years and I can honestly say that this product is the best that I've ever used. It's somewhat on the thick side when you apply so you only need to use a small dab on your fingers and then rub together with your hand and apply. Once it's on, it's not very sticky or greasy or bothersome in anyway. You just really forget that it's there, only that it works and you don't need to mess with you hair once you have it set. You can style it with blow dry or just put some on your hair and set it yourself. It's not one of those gels that makes your hair all spiky or obnoxious..if that's the look you're going for this is probably not your speed. But if you want something that holds and works well, this would be a great choice. It also lasts quite a long time. I put it on early in the morning when I'm ready to go to work and it stays good until I get home at night or until I hit the showers after the gym.

Hey Vicki,I am a guy, not sure if that makes a big difference to ya. But, I have long(er) hair and it's VERY fine. I tried this stuff and didn't like the consistency, for me it definitely made things feel a little greasy.

However, I use the Creme with Silk Groom from Kiehl's after a quick blow dry while my hair's still damp. This gives just the right volume and a good base to add a much smaller amount of another holding product.

Hi Dave, thanks for your response. I do believe you could be right about the paste, at least for my hair type. Thank you for your honesty. Yes, I really want volume or something to hold a set. I will consider the Creme with Silk Groom.Thanks again,Vicki

Best Answer:I don't use this product to spike my hair, but yes, I think it would work for you. It holds very well. I have short hair and I use this product for my hair behind my head to go back and more or less weave together rather than drop straight down. I hope this helps.

Although it says it on the bottle, can I actually just change my hairstyle thought the day? My question in effect is does the product stay malleable after its applied allowing me to just change my hair or mess it up a bit by running my hand through it?

A shopper on Jun 16, 2013

Best Answer:That lose. I've been able too with a little moisture and some more paste, but it's not as if you first applied. It's still a nice product.
